If anyone fancies a week in November or December and have a decent board they want to sell then I'd swop a week for a fish, quad in the 6-6'2 region if you take the board out and leave it in my garage.

was thinking more of a last minute buzz over for a swell in jan or feb. i suppose i'll get in touch nearer the time.might head down algarve in van in november and start december so might be able to take some things/boards over for you if you need. i'll let u know once i book tickets

Dudes, I've got 50% occupancy in Jan/Feb so chuffed with that. Got the middle weeks of these months left and can do two weeks for the price of 10 days so get in quick. Off round the local golf course soon to hand out flyers there but would much prefer to deal with surfers hating golf as much as I do!!

Praia da Luz, remember that black rock reef we surfed (walk along the cliff for quite a bit - its 5 min walk to that beach) before you desecrated the balcony. So 5 mins from Lagos but you won't wanna be going there with two little uns in tow, just chill round the kids pool or the indoor one. I'll have a couple of boards in storage to save you carting one, we went with two little uns last year, more of a mission than the 9 hours to Arugam Bay, albeit grandparents played a blinder (they rented an appartment on the complex too)

Ta.

Its taken from ny eve. Free the xmas week, few enqs in. Might be too small for 4 adults, 2 singles and a double sofa

Cheers. Not really making much in the way of cash in pocket profit as the income I get goes on the council tax, resort management annual fee and utilities but making enough that I'll have to do a bloody tax return though! I also sold all the summer weeks to the resort management who sell on at a higher cost via expedia, hotels.com and bookings.com but i'd much rather have a bird in the hand and it saves me the hassle all year.

It makes all our weeks free tho' and we're going for a month this winter with the toddlers and I've had a good 5 (individual) weeks there since got it and back out this month and 2 weeks in June/July.

Just happy that the resort is so well managed. We pay a little more towards that and for the upkeep of the more upmarket communal facilites (as with any flats really we're all the residents pay for the communal) but happy with that, the indoor pool and spa facilities are great.

Bit too much info but the resort is well worth looking into if anyone is thinking about buying abroad for a pain and stress free time. The appartments are so cheap compared to when we first looked at them in 2006, ours is 110k less than then (got ours for 90k). Pure luck (and lack of an upfront deposit at that time) that we didn't go for it then.

It was heartstopping sending the money over, used a fx broker rather than a bank, saved about 2 grand with better exchange rates but one fx broker went bust leaving many out of pocket but they've tightened up regs since then and our friends who have places on the resort put us onto them.

nowt came of suing the developer for the collapse Danny? If you had a solicitor then they might have been professionally negligent for not checking that the development was insured against the bankruptcy.
